I'm trying to feed my snakes. One of them apparently isn't interested at all (he's already refused two different rats), and another has decided the correct way to eat a rat is to hang halfway out of her feeding box through the ceiling hatch and cling upside down between the two feeding boxes, supporting the rat against the floor. And if there's ( Read more... )

I fail at feeding snakes today. Dunno if it's the rats or if I'm warming up them wrong.

So now I can't get my computer to start at all with WinXP. I managed to kick up my old Win2000 to get at least the basics done, but I suspect my hard drive is dying and soon this option might be gone as well. Unless the whole trouble is caused by the stereo system I got last night, although while it is usable through the computer I can't figure out ( Read more... )

I'm posting a lot today... The pet shop got some proper sized food rats! Of course it means I won't get to sleep the day away since I have to go and buy them, but the snakes will get their food and that's what's really important :)

My computer's breaking apart. It went through a frightening error routine when I started it this morning and then didn't want to shut down before I left to work.

I'm starting to get thoroughly annoyed with my computer. I can't use LJ at all anymore (I'm writing this from work). I tried yesterday, it took ten minutes to load a profile page and another ten minutes to manage to close it. During that time I couldn't do anything else with the stupid machine. And it gave me some weird error message about failed ( Read more... )

Hotep shed his skin yesterday :) I just spent a good while trying to compare the snakes' patterns with those in the shed skin and even if I hoped it was him (especially since the last two skins have been from Ankh), I couldn't be sure without checking since the skin was remarkably intact. Usually with him the it ends up in small shreds all over the ( Read more... )

Shit! My snakes just figured out a way to open the terrarium! They haven't realized it yet but that could be just a matter of time... Of course they would need to work together to achieve anything, one needs to push themselves beneath that branch of apple tree I have in the terrarium and while the branch lifts the roof the other could slip out... I ( Read more... )
